Range Rover works in collaboration with design studio NUOVA on the new Futurespective: Connected World installation in Milan. It is made as a retro showroom resembling the 70s and this is translated through details including wood paneling, a khaki Range Rover, and a shaggy textured carpet. The car shines as the centerpiece of the showroom.
NUOVA founders Enrico Pietra and Rodrigo Caula speak on the design, “Range Rover has long been a companion to generations, seamlessly evolving through time while remaining anchored in its unmistakable identity. Our exploration of time travel isn’t merely nostalgic or speculative – it’s a lens through which we examine how design, innovation, and craftsmanship weave together across eras. Partnering with a brand so deeply rooted in heritage, yet constantly driven by evolution and reinvention, feels like a natural alignment."
